I ran my first marathon in 2012 with Team LIVESTRONG in memory of my Grandfather who lost his battle with Lung Cancer in 2011. It was a rewarding experience that I will never forget. Since that time, I continue to see people all around me, friends, family and strangers from all walks of life who are affected by cancer. This year, I want to challenge my friends to join me and raise money for the fight by running for a reason. CANCER SUCKS, so let's band together and run for the fight against this terrible disease! If you can't run with me, consider a donation that will help in the fight.

I've joined with other people around the globe and across different events to raise money for the LIVESTRONG Foundation.

The Foundation serves people affected by cancer and empowers them to take action against this disease that is now the world's leading cause of death. LIVESTRONG has become a symbol of hope and inspiration to people affected by cancer around the world.

The money I raise will support programs and services for cancer survivors. These resources help people diagnosed with cancer face the challenges of the disease head on and live life on their own terms. Livestrong.org/WeCanHelp
